Stack overflow during shader compilation

[nazar-pc]

Expected Behaviour

Here is an issue I just faced when replacing a loop with two direct calls:

error: failed to run custom build command for `ab-proof-of-space-gpu v0.1.0 (/web/github/abundance/crates/farmer/ab-proof-of-space-gpu)`

  note: rustc unexpectedly overflowed its stack! this is a bug
  note: maximum backtrace depth reached, frames may have been lost
  note: we would appreciate a report at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust
  help: you can increase rustc's stack size by setting RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216

Looks like recursion that went too deep somewhere.

RUST_MIN_STACK=16777216 suggestion did help, so it is not an infinite loop or anything like that, just uses too much stack space due to recursion.

Example & Steps To Reproduce

I pushed a commit that reproduces this here: https://github.com/nazar-pc/abundance/tree/spirv-codegen-stack-overflow

This should produce the same error as above:

cd crates/farmer/ab-proof-of-space-gpu
cargo build
